When Linnet Doyle, the richest woman in London, steals and marries her best friend's fiancé, the best friend gets her revenge by hounding the newlyweds throughout their honeymoon. Then, on a subsequent pleasure cruise down the Nile River, the widely despised Mrs. Doyle is found murdered in her bed. But she is only the first victim in a wave of murders on ship, so it is indeed fortunate the famed Belgian detective Poirot is along for the ride. Tony Award nominee David Suchet offers his peerless interpretation of Hercule Poirot in these lavish A&E adaptations of the Agatha Christie mysteries, which offer impeccable production, attention to detail, and superb casting. Whether enjoying a superb meal or fussing with his appearance or using his "little gray cells" to expose the truth about a murder, Poirot has won admirers worldwide—first as a literary figure and now as an incomparable television detective.
